Taking a closer look at locking back earrings, you'll see that the Earring backs themselves are
thin little domed-shaped discs with a hole in it.
On the Disc you'll see two ribbed nubs that stick up. One on either side of the earring back.
When they're pushed in you'll see the hole in the center of the back open up. Pushing those at the same time unlocks the earring back from the notched earring post. Those notches prevent these backs from sliding off the end. They hold it in place and unless you push both nubs at the same time, your earrings won't come off. That's security!
You won't Lose them!
Plus what's even better about the locking back earrings is the comfort level.
The domed discs feel nice and smooth on the earlobes. And here's an even better feature that many wouldn't ever think about... If you are one of those people who has problems with your Diamond Studs drooping and pointing down, then by all means you need these types of locking backs. Why? Because you can push the flat discs all the way up the post and rest them against the back of your ears. Doing this holds your earrings snug on your ears. It keeps them from drooping on the earlobe and pointing down. Your earrings will always be facing up and forward for everyone to see!
Are Locking Back Earrings Expensive?
Probably not any more than screw-back earrings. But the funny thing is, it's a new technology that hasn't been out long, so most people have never heard of them, or even know a better option exists.
Take my advice, if you have expensive Diamond Stud Earrings and want to protect them and keep them in your ears and not in your vacuum, then buy locking back earrings! I will say, they're a little bit harder to hold and put on, it takes a little bit of coordination to grasp curved domed discs, but once you get used to them, you'll love them and never regret it!
Your earrings will look better, fit better and stay in your ears where they belong! There you have it, the best earring backs to buy! And that's a post that won't get lost!
